Co-Enzyme Q10 Powder (Water-Soluble)

Advanced antioxidant and cellular energy-support active for water-based formulations.

INCI Name: Ubiquinone 

Appearance: Yellow to orange fine powder

Solubility: Water-dispersible / water-soluble

Typical Usage: 0.5–1%

Function: Antioxidant, anti-aging support, cellular energy support, photoprotection

Co-Enzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) is a naturally occurring compound found in human skin, where it plays a key role in cellular energy production and antioxidant defense. This water-soluble format allows formulators to incorporate Q10 into serums, gels, and emulsions without the challenges associated with oil-soluble forms.

Common Applications

• Anti-aging and antioxidant serums
• Daily protective moisturizers
• Urban defense and pollution-focused skincare
• After-sun and photoprotection support formulas
• Lightweight gels, emulsions, and essences

Why Water-Soluble Co-Enzyme Q10?

Co-Enzyme Q10 is essential for mitochondrial energy production and helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress caused by UV exposure, pollution, and aging. Traditional Q10 is oil-soluble and difficult to formulate into modern lightweight systems. This water-soluble form allows broader application while maintaining antioxidant performance.

Key Benefits

• Cellular energy support: Helps support skin vitality by assisting mitochondrial function.
• Antioxidant protection: Neutralizes free radicals that contribute to visible aging.
• Photoprotection support: Helps defend skin against UV-induced oxidative stress.
• Improved skin resilience: Supports smoother, firmer-looking skin over time.
• Formulation flexibility: Enables Q10 use in water-based and lightweight systems.

Usage Guidelines

• Recommended use level: 0.5–1%
• Disperse into the water phase or during cool-down
• Suitable for serums, gels, emulsions, and creams
• Typical formulation pH range: ~4.5–7.0

Formulation Notes

• Avoid excessive heat; add below ~40 °C when possible
• Pairs well with vitamin E, niacinamide, panthenol, ferulic acid, and botanical antioxidants
• Recommended to protect finished products from prolonged light exposure
